你瞞我瞞

By 陳柏宇

約會像是為 分享到飽肚滋味
有任何難題 卻不提起
這若是浪漫 我怎麼覺得就快分離
你哭過 但眼影閃得更豔美
我是誰情人 你始終也是你
微笑靜默互望 笑比哭更可悲
就算怎開心皺着眉
儘管緊緊抱得穩你
兩臂 卻分得開我共你
無言的親親親 侵襲我心
仍寧願親口講你累得很
如除我以外在你心
還多出一個人
你瞞住我
我亦 瞞住我
太合襯
這就是談情 客氣得嚇着我
除了近來繁忙 我所知有幾多
若要哭不哭訴為何
大家爭吵鬥嘴好過
勝過 笑不出聲抱着我
這麼 寂寞的戀愛算什麼
用你指尖纏我 用熱吻逃避我
About This Song

The song "" ("You Hide Your True Feelings From Me") by the artist (Chen Bowu) delves into the complexities of a romantic relationship marred by misunderstandings and unexpressed emotions. The central theme of the song revolves around the emotional isolation that two lovers experience despite being physically close. The lyrics portray a relationship where both individuals are trapped in a cycle of silence, masking their true feelings and creating a sense of impending separation even amidst moments that should be joyful and intimate. This emotional core resonates with those who have navigated love's bittersweet terrains, touching upon the paradox of intimacy and distance.

The narrative conveyed in this song illustrates a poignant story of a couple that finds themselves entangled in a web of unspoken truths. They engage in silent exchanges, laughing and embracing one another while concurrently feeling the weight of their unresolved issues. The line ("Even when I hold you tightly, my arms cannot truly connect with you") captures this dichotomy effectively, emphasizing that physical closeness doesn't equate to emotional connection. This inner turmoil leads to the realization that both partners are hiding their feelings from each other, suggesting an unspoken agreement to maintain a faade rather than confront the underlying issues of their relationship.

Musically, the song features poignant melodies that complement the lyrical themes, creating a somber yet captivating atmosphere. Chen Bowus vocal delivery is particularly notable as it is laden with emotion, effortlessly conveying the pain and confusion experienced by the characters in the song. Lyrical techniques such as imagery and metaphor enhance the storytelling, with references to the visual aspects of love, such as the metaphor of "" ("the eyeshadow shines even brighter"), symbolizing the faade of beauty that hides deeper emotional scars. This interplay between the music and lyrics results in a profound listening experience that resonates with many.

Culturally, the song reflects a broader phenomenon in modern relationships where individuals often prioritize appearances and avoid confrontation, leading to misunderstood emotions. The notion of "" (face, or social reputation) is significant in various Asian cultures, often resulting in suppressed feelings to maintain harmony or avoid shame. As such, "" speaks to a universal truth, transcending cultural boundaries, and inviting listeners to reflect on the authenticity of their own relationships.
